Motobécane was a French manufacturer of bicycles, mopeds, motorcycles, and other small vehicles, established in 1923. "Motobécane" is a compound of "moto", short for motorcycle; "bécane" is slang for "bike." For many years Motobécane was France's largest manufacturer of motorcycles. Like many European motorcycle manufacturers, the 1960s proved difficult for Motobécane as cars became affordable. As a result, sales decreased. The arrival of cheap, efficient Japanese motorcycles also hurt sales. They continued to produce two-cylinder 125cc motorcycles throughout the 1970s.

Part of a private collection of machines, this LT1 is a rare survivor today, in the UK. Restored a few years ago it has not been used much since. It is offered complete with a current V5C. The V5C states the model as an ‘LT3’, which is a DVLA error.
